Abigail's Earl by Starla Kaye
Lady Abigail Remington has always been seen as the faultless daughter, the biddable one who never caused her family problems. Inside she is dying from the stress of putting on such an act. She longs to let her daring, adventurous side out. She has finally found the perfect outlet to her yearnings, Amberly's Ampitheatre of Arts. If only she can find the courage and find a way to be allowed to perform. What she doesn't want is to be tied down in marriage. She will be happy as a spinster leading the life she desires, never having to answer to a demanding man.
James Ranborne, the confident and determined Earl of Saliston, has always known his place in society, trained almost from birth to hold politically powerful roles. Widowed after losing the woman he'd married by arrangement and losing his heir in childbirth, he has put off marrying again. He has no time for love and romance, neither of which he believes in. But he has a duty to his family and his position to find a proper woman to marry and to give him the heir he must have. What he will not do is give her his heart. He believes marrying Lady Abigail is the answer to his needs.
